YOU KNOW, EVERYONE HAS A SECRET.  AND IF I TOLD YOU MINE, YOU WON'T LOOK AT ME THE SAME WAY AGAIN.

DARA'S POV

IM OFF TO SCHOOL. AND I'M IN A HURRY 'COS I'M REALLY DEAD LATE!

I THOUGHT IT STILL WEEKEND TO THE POINT I FORGOT TO WOKE UP EARLIER.

SO I RUN-WALKED TO THE STREET TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THE BUS, COS ONCE I MISSED IT,

I NEED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER ING  30 MINS. FOR ANOTHER ING BUS TO CAME.

AND I THINK. I ALREADY MISSED IT. GREAT!

AS I'M STANDING ON THE WAITING SHED, IT STARTED TO RAIN.

HOW UNFORTUNATE..............

SUDDENLY..

A CAR CAME CRASHING

SPLASHED!!

THANKS FOR THIS MUD BATH! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

THE ING CAR SLOWLY DROVE BACKWARD WITH THE HALF OPENED WINDOW.

THE GUY GAVE ME A LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER.

"CALL ME LATER."

THEN THE CAR BLOWNED FAST.

THERE. ANOTHER S P L A S H E D !!

"WHAT ABOUT SORRY??!! DAMN YOU!" I SHOUTED AS I WIPED MY WET LOOK FACE.

WHAT'S THIS? A CALLING CARD? TCH.

I'D NEVER SEEN HIS FACE BECAUSE OF HIS CAR'S WINDOW WAS JUST HALF OPENED AND THE FACT THAT

I REALLY  DON'T CARE WHO THE HELL HE IS.

ANYWAYS, AT LAST THE BUS CAME.

"SHOULD I GO TO SCHOOL WITH THIS KIND OF LOOK?"

AISHH... THE PEOPLE IS NOW STARRING AT ME GAWD...

AND.. AND THEY THROWING SOME COINS. EH? COINS?

WHAT'S THAT THROWING COINS FOR?

HOLLYYYY CRAPPP... I'M NOT A BEGGAR PLEASE.........

THE NEXT DAY

BOM    : WHY YOU WERE ABSENT YESTERDAY?

DARA  : I HAD SICK. VEERRYYY SICK. ~SIGH

BOM   : OH YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO SCHOOL YET. WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER??

SOME OF BOM'S NONE STOP QUESTION. OOHHWW SHE LOOKED SO WORRIED. *GUILTY*

SHE'S MY BESTFRIEND SINCE CHILDHOOD UP TO NOW, STANDS AS MY BIG SISTER AND MY MUM ASWELL,

SINCE MY FAMILY WERE IN THE PROVINCE. SO I UNDERSTAND HOW SHE REACT ON EVERY SITUATION LIKE THIS.

YOU KNOW, HAVING SICK, MISFORTUNE, ETC..

DARA: I'M FINE-------

THEN A "THOUGHT" CUT OUR CONVERSATION.

I LOOKED FOR THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT MUD GUY GAVE ME.

WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT? .. OHHHH THERE YOU ARE.. KEKEKE!

DARA:      AH...   BOM MY DEAR.. WILL YOU PUH-LEASSSEE EXCUSE ME FOR A WHILE?

BOM     : WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

DARA   : HUH-NOTHING.. OW BY THE WAY, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T PICK UP YOUR CALL. ~pout

BOM     : HUH?
